“Nothing is mediocre in Vic’s Bakehouse. Their cinnamon bun is exceptionally satisfying…I love how it combines coffee cream on the top and a soft, spongy bun in the middle with a sticky and buttery bottom. Such rich textures n flavours I’ve rarely tasted in NZ…Wish I could live in Chch and next door to Vic’s.😭” –L. June

“Always so good and we’ve had your lemon tarts before but the ones today were outstanding. The best lemon tarts we have ever eaten- and we’ve had a few… The pastry was thin, crisp and just the right sweetness for the very zesty lemon. So, so good. Thank you😀” –Carol McCann
